Of all the holidays, Easter has to be the most fun to set the table for. The floral tablecloths and china come out, accompanied by festive rabbits and statement glassware. Over the last few years I’ve enjoyed collecting all kinds of glasses, from colorful and shapely to etched and stately.

A couple of weeks ago, our entire household succumbed to the stomach bug—one by one like dominos. I know Chez Muffy was one of many to go down hard so I thought I’d share a surefire way to recalibrate post-virus: Classic Chicken Noodle Soup. This particular recipe makes a lot of soup, presumably because one will be repeating this meal until a regular diet resumes.

Happy almost Valentine’s Day dears! Nothing says love quite like dessert, and a classic one at that. These crisped rice treats are a hit in our household, I think the vanilla and salted butter add a pinch of elevation to the traditional recipe. Enjoy! xx
